A particle of mass $m$ and charge $q$ is kept at the top of a fixed frictionless sphere. $A$ uniform horizontal electric field $E$ is switched on. The particle looses contact with the sphere, when the line joining the center of the sphere and the particle makes an angle $45^o$ with the vertical. The ratio $\frac{qE}{mg}$ is :-
